That rheumS ism and neuralgia are so
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but l. is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful, but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant &C.
c1rrence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only a certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but safe remedy. If, in the use of
Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
AthlophOros Pills are recommended, which
while providing the necessary cathartic,
will be found to be a valuable aid to the
action of the medicine. Athlophoros is no
experiment, it has been tested and has
proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in
connection with that remedy, they are g
certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing diseases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiate1
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blooa
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For dis
eases of women they are invaluable. These
pills are perfectly harmless and may be
safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be ssnt free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Company, 112 Wall street, New
York, will send either carriage paid) on re-
ceipt of regular price, which is 81 per bottle
for Athlophoros and 80 cents for Pills.

early, tied up all available funds, thus fore
ing the men behind the deal to abandon
the idea ola May corner and to make terms
with him. What those terms were nobody
knows, but the great packer does not do
business for his health. The mauipulators
are now buying both June and
July, taking about all offerings,
but with the room traders July is the IA
vorite month. On the bulges it goes up al
most as fast as June, and on the breaks
does not drop nearly as much. G. J. Ker-
shaw was to-day talking of wheat at 81. %
during July, but nobody expects contin-
times when the market will look terribly
sick, and other times when the 'bulls'
will tumble over each other in their scram-
BILE TO buy. The tailers, remembering last
months experience, are anxious to get in
on the soft spots only.
From legitimate standpoint, the mar
ket was never more healthy than now.
Such an active demand from both
the United Kingdom and continent
was never known at the same time before.
The foreigners are clawing wheat out of
the bins at New York and st. Louis, while
Minneapolis and Duluth report an active
inquiry. Cash wheat at the seaboard is
&c above the May option. The demand so
far is chiefly for No. 2 red winter, but the
movement of Northwestern flour is heavy.
Corn ruled heavy. General rains in the
corn belt have stopped drought dispatches
and the'shipping demand is light. Be-
sides, stocks are large, and a carrying
average of Ia cents in corn is more seri-
Gus than in wheat. Offerings are large
and come chiefly from the old stock-yards
crowd.
Provisions are dull and uninteresting.

was very satisfactory, especially regarding

the vacancy in the directory be filed at

uWhat cnrve %
The curve on the ball"
NNOnsensa The hall can't curven

what curve
THE curve on the ball.
Nonsense The ball can't curve"
Then there was another pause for half
an hour while the theory of curved pitch
ing was explained to Father. And when
he finally went in to the bat he thought he
knew ali about it. When his turn ame to
strike Johnny had come up to pitcher, and
that willy youDgster had more curves and
shoots and lodges than he had fingers. So
when he pitched an out-curve and Father
famed the air, he laughed demoniac
laugh. Father smiled. He saw the curve
and prepared to meet it on the next ball.
But the villainous Johnny pitched an in
shoot, and when Father reached for the
expected out-curve he got whack on the
left wrist that made him drop the bat with
an exclamation that quite shocked the UNI
pire.
"Give Father al easy one" pleaded the
umpire; "don't be so mean"
Come off," said the irreverent Johnny,
sending in a rising out-curve, on which
father quite threw himself away.
But the veteran was full of courage, and
there was an exultant feminine shrek as
he hammered the next ball for base hit
between short and second.

clappiDg her hands; you're not half go

But father made his first, and smiled
smile of benign triumph on the assembly.
Now, father" said Albert, take plenty
OF ground and go to second as soon as he
pitches; George can't throw straight to
second"
''Take ground? What ground?"
''Time," called Albert; and he explained
his meaning to Father.
The veteran got TO second and stood there
putting, but happy. Then the batsman hit
to the third baseman, who half stopped the

rushed after it, while Johnny ran from the
box to third, yelling:
"Here with It'll Here with it! We've got
pop now"
Father was running from second as fast
as be could.
"Slide, papa, slider' shrieked the umpire.
And father, confused by the various
cries, tried to slide as if he were on ice. The
result was that he tripped and pitched
headlong over third base, just as Johnny,
having sprung high in the air to catch the
ball, came down with all his weight on
the middle of Fathers back and hit him on
the neck with the ball. The PROSTATE forms
rolled over and over in dire struggle,
which raised cloud of dust, hiding them
from sight.

pire in trembling tones, vainly endeavor-
ing to see what the cloud concealed.
Presently expostulations and then cries
Enthusiastically emanating from Johnny
came out of the cloud, which slowly foated
away revealing Father sitting on third base
with Johnny across his knee receiving from
the parental hand the familiar lesson of
childhood. Father told mother afterward
that he believed he had been hasty; but at
that moment when he departed from the
field, accompanied by the umpire with a
suspicious moisture in her blue eyes, he felt
that the dignity of outraged fatherhood
had been re-established on a business basis.

Suicide of a Young Lady.

ST. LOUIS, May Cora Sullivan, a
beautiful, refined maid of twenty-five
years, daughter of a wealthy citizen OF

the Protestant hospital for special treat
ment. Monday she attempted to strangle
had been inflicted. She was removed to
private apartments in the neighborhood.
Her ailment required small doses of
chloral hydrate and bromide of potassium,
and haltounce bottle was kept in the

IcHIcAGo WHEAT CLIQUE.
The Old Monarehs of the Pit Control the
Market Once More.


Market Once More.
Special to the Sentinel.
CHICAGO, May THE wheat clique on
Change now have the market thoroughly
under control, and are in shape to take
charge of the June deal. The local leaders
Jack Cudahy, Ream, Jones and Linn (the
old monarchs of the pit)-are badly dis
gruntled. They got beat fighting the ma
nipulators, and then got beat ''tailing''
after them. They bought May heavily
and sold June, and now find the May
squeeze abandoned and June on the ram
page. The clique have larger line OF
options bought for June than they had
for May delivery Besides SsaS they have
New York, st. Louis and Chicago, and no
tightening up of the money market can
knock them out. 1t was expected that de.
livery day would lay all the secrets Of the
manipulators open, and that everybody
would know whether 1t was a "shoe-string"
deal, or whether it was run by men who
could take and pay for 100000 bushels
Of Of, wheat, and then have plenty Of money
left to work the options. This, however,
was not the case. The clique houses, Ker-
shaw & Co., Rosenfeld & Co., Irwin, Green
& Co. and Walker & Co., took some of the
grain and turned the remainder over to the
regular carriers with whom arrangements
had been made to hold 1t through the
month at a rate Of 21sc. Now the
syndicate is ready to begin work
on the options, and that it will
endeavor to get back the $3.50, 900 or so put
into carrying charges goes without saying.
Everybody's gain came out except Ar.

covered three days ago thirty-fve miles
southeast of Magdelena, and that it is
throwing out great volumns of smoke and
lava. From the position of the fire, which
is distinctly seen from several stations on
the Sonora Railway, ii is supposed to be in

earthquake shock was felt here last night,

miles east of Daggett Station, has just
reached here. The east-bound passenger
train, which was three hours behind time,
and running at the rate of forty miles
an hour, ran into an arroyo, the bridge
having been burned, leaving the rails in

threw the fireman out of the cab. The
tender went through into shallow arroyo
forming a barricade against which the
mail car turned completely around, stand
and express cars were thrown
twenty feet from the track to the
right and turned over. The two passenger
cars were derailed, but the two Pullman
cars remained on the track. a scene of
frightful CONSERVATION ensued, no one be-
lieving the passengers in the overturned
car would escape death. The fireman,
Charles Smith, was picked up unconscious,
with his leg broken, spine injured
and internal injuries. he is not
expected to recover. Among the in
juIed passengers extracted from the wrecked
cars are: Mr.. Snyder, of Walla Walla,

A TENNESSEE ROMANCE.
Woman's Devotion Gains the Pardon of
a Life Convict.

NASHVILLE, May 7.-Eighteen years ago
the doors of the State Prison closed upon
Frank Riddle, of Msury County, who had
been sentenced to life imprisonment for
numbering German peddler. There were
doubts as to the guilt of Riddle, who re-
fused TO acknowledge the crime and accept
a term OF fifteen years. One after another
of the life convicts died, and Riddle
almost abandoned hope of obtaining
his freedom. While Governor Taylor was
seated in his Office yesterday a woman
walked into the apartment aud pre-
sented to the Governor a petition for
executive clemency, signed by the lessees
and every officer of the prison, which
stated that Riddles long incarceration had
served the ends of justice. Accompanying
the petition was a letter written by the
woman who bore it. After the Governor
had read the documents the lady rose and,
addressing him, said: Governor Taylor,
when that man was accused of murder, L
was engaged to be married to him. l did
not believe him guilty and did not break
the engagement. During the two or three
years that the trial was pending still be-
lieved in him. During the eighteen years of
his confinement have stuck to him. His
parents have died. His brother and sisters
are all dead, except q sister who lives
out West. The people who were interested
in the case then have forgotten him. ! am
the only friend he has in the world. My
life has been wrapped up in him. be.
ieve in him and have loved him through all
these long, weary years, and want you to
pardon him. do not ask you to think
him an innocent man, but for the sake of
two lives that may yet be happy, implore
you to set him free"
Without waiting to hear the Governors
decision, she arose and left the Office and
the capitol. When the Governor had
cleared his eyes of tears, he said to Bishop
Cranberry: Such devotion and constancy
have never seen, and whatever Riddle
may have deserved, 1t does look as If that
woman ought to have chance at happi-
ness"
The prisoner will be pardoned.

Kansas Crops.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 3.-The Kansas
Farmer this week presents very complete
report of the condition of crops through
out the State, and it makes an excellent
showing. Dry weather had delayed early
vegetation and interfered somewhat with
the termination of seed, but about the
middle of April copious rains fell in every
county so that now wheat is growing Wig
orously, the young oats cover the ground
well, meadows are green and cattle are liv-
ing on the new prairie grass. The acreage
of the wheat is small, but the prospects
for wheat is growing very good.
